Cash - 40% Bonds - 20% Fixed deposit - 20% Gold - 5% Stocks - 10% ( Majority of this in dividend funds) Other Asset Classes - 5%
My belief is that stocks are relatively overvalued compared to bonds and attractive buying opportunities can come along after 1-2 years. In a deflationary scenario no asset class does well other than U.S bonds, the U.S dollar and the Japanese yen, so better to be safe than sorry with high quality government bonds and fixed deposits. Cash is the king always. Of course this varies with the person's age.
Knowing the right strategy for this uncertain environment is going to be key to success.
